I would imajin it a bit messy wen u use a pilllow case? Does it not all get into the material?
Well if you don't turn the pillow case inside out like I didm't...yes, it gets into all the folds etc, I think I have a pic of some of the stuff I got from my pillow once. Will look through my pics...it was good for sure....but bags are easier, lol.

That looks like some nice hash from a pillow?!!! lol cool! It so happens that im looking into making some hash this time with the trimmings etc ( not just mouldy stuff like last time lol) So was thinking of investing in some bubble bags- a worthwhile investment you reckon if i can get them cheap? Or stick with homemade option? Just not using paper coffee filters like last time lol- jees that was tedious and doomed to fail lol :D

Hey Westy, nah, should I be freezing it? Would make it hard to make worms, hehehe

I use to freeze oil back in the day. I use to stick it in the freezer, then get a bowl of ice cold water. Take the oil out of freezer, smash with hammer, then put the bits into the freezing cold water,(kept them solid) then quickly weigh up before it is running all over yer scales!! I do freeze my trim however.

Ok, off to make some cheesey hash...the trim smells bonkers.

hmmmm cheese hash. thats gonna be killer man, yeah i know what you mean about the lower set of nugs, i found this with the cheese psycho and livers unless your on top of under pruning on the regular its gonna happen, i dont really mind cos it just gets snipped up into hash fodder but you cant help thinking it would have been nicer if the top set of nugs had that wieght eh.

lookin forward to the hashpics man!

Fair play to Las fingerez, he did mention about the lower buds, but it was a bit late for me to start shaving her lower legs at that point. There really wasn't that much branch under the canopy, problem was, all the big buds just flopped over and I think this was to the dertiment of the lower nuggles. That's why I am thinking next run I will do a double screen. First screen to veg out and probably first 2 weeks of flower, then add another screen on top.

Trichomes getting their sink on....another 3 minutes and back to it...

I don't understand how freezing anything gets rid of moisture though, HC.....if anything, unless you got it in a vacuum sealed package, any air that is in the container or whatever you put the hashish into the freeer with will just freeze the moisture in that container/package and then you got ice forming on your hash....I've heard of ice-o-later but...lol. Like when you put a bit of meat in a zip lock bag and then the meat has ice forming on it.

Would like to get more clarity on that.

Onto round two now. Done some 75micron and that has collected the most..got a nice odour to it as well.


I have read lately that its better to freeze your shish. Gets rid of any remaining moisture and keeps it fresh

Yeah i read that- better to use fresh frozen trim than let it dry out first- less likely to get green matter in final product, or so i read kinda makes sense i guess- ill give it a go when the time comes- although when that is........ i got a Euforia thats supposed to be 7 week finish- not looking likely as its 7 weeks old today :(

I'm talking more along the lines of moisture at the molecular level, after removing as much as you can by coffee filters or paper towels and then letting it dry for a day or two, not like putting a block of mostly dried funk in the freezer. When you put a steak from the store in the freezer and then take it out at some point, it will still have some moisture in it, but not as much as it had initially. Think freeze dried coffee. And not sure why you guys do the pressing/decarbolation thing, as that breaks up all the heads that you went to all the trouble to remove. I understand that the friction created would heat the hash up, but why? Any more that I make will be strictly for myself, most of everything that I just made is commercial grade. Anyone want to trade some 1 gal bags for 5s? :)

Catch ya later

Not sure of the exact science, but goes back to hash making in the mountains of nepal and afghanistan...try and find The Great Book of Hashish. For example, once the initial charras have been pressed into fingers, they are then put into bag and left in the sun for several hours...the writer was also unlear as to why it was done.

Anyway, just rolling up a joint of Casey Jones and BX2 Cheese 70 micron hash that I have made...can't wait. Here's a pic of the boo..

MMMM that looks very tasty- what a great colour- can i come over to visit? lol :P How much trim did ya use to get that amount, and did you do a second cycle with the green matter or just leave it at one? Aww i cant wait to get mine done now- especially as trying to obtain anything smokable at this time of year is rare to non existant :( Might have to resort to smoking popcorn if this weed drought continues lol :D

Not sure, just as I dumped the bag into the bucket I realised I said to Don that I would weight it.....well that was trim from 1 big plant, and 3 little ones (grown in 9l and 4 litre pots I think.)
I ran it twice and then got bored so didn't bother with a third this time. My trim was dry:shock: horror,some say not to do that...well that's what I do, I use everything as well, fan leaves - my thought is, I might as well use it or it'll get chucked, and when I can see trichomes on the stems of fan leaves I know I am getting something from them. Eveything is put in the freezer before hand and then I used ice cubes and some ice I shmashed up from outside, and half a bucket of snow, stirred like mad, then added a bit of water, stirred like mad again (30 mins total.) Then trf'd from my bucket into the smaller bucket with the bags. Laid to rest for 15mins, then remove. Press each lump that comes out and in my eyes...ready to smoke away.
